This unknown butterfly to me was having some breakfast on a bush at my Mom's house in California.

bubbalinn - Jul 17, 2008 10:45 AM EDTHi Mary and Carol, Thanks very much for dropping by and commenting on my photo. That is interesting Mary about Tieh standing for a long life, this butterfly must have been letting me know that my brother is going to live a bit longer :)

improvement. Have fun with your shutter!
The Mandarin Chinese word for butterfly is "hu-tieh". "Tieh" means "70 years", therefore butterflies have become a symbol for a long life.
